one clue that you’re back in school
Last night, I was feeling quite industrious. I decided to vacuum at 11pm. I know that that’s late, but since I’d stayed up until 4am the night before and had subsequently slept in that morning, it was only about 6pm my time.
Anyway, I was vacuuming and feeling pretty good about how well my new little canister vacuum could suck when I heard two loud knocks at the door. I went and peeked out the peephole and saw nothing. Danny came downstairs to ask what it was, and I told him I didn’t know. We left our porch light on and hung out for a few more hours before going to bed.
When we woke up today, I opened the door to find eggshells and runny egg yolks running down our door and onto the doormat. Shit. That sucks. At least they weren’t rotten eggs, but it really pissed me off. Who could I have angered in the short time we’ve been here? There are tons of crappy little unsupervised kids running around our parking lot, so it could have been anyone of them. On our way out today, we looked around to see if any other doors had been defiled, but we didn’t notice anything out of the peeling-paint, shitty facade ordinary we’re used to seeing.
When we got home tonight, we got a bowl of soapy water and some sponges and cleaned off the egg. It wasn’t too gross but it was annoying. We can’t wait to move out of our complex. At least we got a six month lease. Even if we have to move out in the freezing, wet-cold of January, I think it will be worth it. This place sucks.
So how do I know I’m back in school? Crappy neighbors: check. Cheap apartments: check. Little kids shrieking and screaming from sunup to sundown: check. I guess at UT, Danny had more drunken frat dudes to listen to late at night, but I’d almost prefer them over the crappy kids in our complex. Yes, I hate children. It’s that simple. Wait. I actually hate the no good, worthless, crappy, preoccupied parents who let their little brats run around the parking lot at all hours of the day.
I feel old. Get off my lawn or I’ll take a switch to yer hide!
